THE mails on all the roads Jeading into the city continue to be delayed. Superintendent Hubbard yesterdsy stated thal this is to be ascribed not S0 much Lo the recent storms 4s to the fact that the railroads are no longer able to furnish transportation for the enormoys freight business of Chicago. While ‘this business has - grown 100 per cent withina short tiwe, the rail- road facilities have mot been inereused 25 per cent. Thus, in thelr endeayor to do n_frelght business wnich is overwnelmipy them, the rail- roads allow the frelght to intertere with the pus- senger tralfic, and thus the mails of lute scarcely ever arrive on schedule time. The recent cold wentherand snow-stortus huve, ot course, ad led to this delay, and altaost il of the mails arrive from one to twelve bours behind time. ‘TRE ALCOHOL TRICK. The arrests made in Northern New York of ‘parties who were receiving alcohol dressed with shellac suflicient to clnss as shellue varnish. as detailed in THe TRIBUNE speciul dispatches of vesterday, were tho result of investiiutions set on foot in this city some time ugo. It was dis- covered that cerigin parties here were selling alcohol below the mariset rates, und at the sawe tlme it was noticed that there was a brisk alcohol export trade te Canuda. Yo uuderstand the scheme which was subsequently discovered, it must be boroe in mind that the Government tuX on aleohol Is on the busis ot % cents per gul~ lon of 10y provt. At this rate the 1ax ou spirits 185 proof,_the usual gauwe for aicohol, would be about S1.70. The market price for alcobol, with- out the tax, i3 about 3S cents. When Bpirits are exported in bund mo _tax i levied. ‘Che investigation sct on foot here showed that certain pariies hud devised an in- genious scheme to evade tho law. ‘They bought Tarzo quantitics of alcohol which was_exported 10 Canada tax free. Then they mixed the alco- bol with a small percentage of shellac, thus making 8 mixture which they sbipped to this country as shellte varnish, paying the duty of 50-cents per gallon and 2 per cent ad valorem, amounting to about 65 cents. The alcouol was then separated from the shellac wnd put on the market. The shellae also was sold, aud the can- spirators protited imumensely. Considerable of the “vurnish” cume back to'this city, znd the ‘possibilitics of the schewme are such that it is ul- eged thut large amounts of nouey have thus been stelen. When the aleohol Is reduced by water to 170 proof tho shellac I3 precipitated without further trouble. The alcohol is then redistilled or sold as low grade. Nourrests have bheen made bere, und probably there will be no seizures, as the customs otficers prefer to rest thelr case on the selzures slready wade in the vicinity of the ports of importaton. The operators Of this clever scheme claim that they ods re- aresimply wiking advantige of ¥ty in the luws, tod assert that they cannot be punished Tor their acts, THE TELEPHONES. PRELIMINARY PLAN OF CONSOLIDATION. The actual consolidation of the Uujon (Bell) and American District telephone corporations will probubly not be accomplisbed for some wecks yet. The plan embraces the formation of anew company, which 1S to buy out both of the old companies, the stockholders in euch re- ceivinga proportionute share of stock in the new corpogation. This plan will undountediy bo adopted, but 0o organization has yet been effected. For a time after the consolidation the compuny will use the scparate switch-borrds and gencral offices, as ut_present. Both telephones will be used, and a uniform systemn of calling will be ndopted, so thut the sender may use one stsle of instrument and the receiver aunother. Duplicate lines will be absorbed and & single instrument substituted. ‘The radical chunge will be inaugurated in the outlylng district otfices, and the work gradually carried down-town. Subseribers wiil experi- euce no trouble, and the change, which will not come for somo time, will simply give them the benefit of the exchange lists of the other company. What styile of instrument will be ultinately adopted has pot yet been decided, as the number of instruments now fn use will necessitate the using of both systems for soma time to come. Each company now bas about L6y telephones fn use, und they will prefer, nuturaly, to have these worn out before new oves are’ subsiituted. No time hos been fixed when the consolidation will be effected, and meanwhile new coutracts will be refused except in cases wnere there i8 no possibility of duplica- tion of lines. ———— 3 A NEW FIRM, Mr. D. 3.

An Interesting Decision from the Su- preme Courte fThe declston of the Supreme Court just filed at Ottawa In the case of S.D. Ward, Kecelver of the Republic Life-Insurance Cowpany, against J. V. Farwell and others is one of great and widesprend interest. This was, io sbort, a bill to eatorce the liabllity of the stockholders of the Republic Life-Insurance Compuny. The Jatter was incorporuted in 1869 under u specinl charter, first with o capital stock of $300,000, which was soon inoreas:d to $5,000,000. In 1677 the Auditor of State filed a petition to wind up 113 affuirs, which resulted n the appointment of & Receiver, 8. D. Ward, and the issunuce of an injunction ' preventinz the Compuny from transacting auy business. Subsequently Ward filed u bill, Gnding the Compuny’s assets fusufli- cient to meet it labllities, for tho purposs of making an nssessment of 8 per cent on the stockholders, and also to upset certaln scaling arrangements, by which the Company bad taken up stock on which 20 per cent bad been paid and lssued full- piid stuck for 20 per cent of the riginal amount. The Circuit Court dismissed the bill, aud the Appellate and Supreme Courts ailirmed that de- cision. A reheariug was then obtuined iu the lut- terCourt, aud last week an elaborate opinion was filed reversing the furmer opinion, After rebearsiug the fucts at some length, the Court said onc of the most {mportant questons in the cuse was tho coustitutionality ot the act of 1674, under which the Tlecelver was appoint- ed, and which was strougly denied by the stuck: holders, It was cluimed, iirst, that the actim- paired the obligation of the contract between the State and the Company. That part of the act in question on which the validity of the pro- ceeding by the Auditor mainly depended pro- vided *“that if the Auditor of Stute,on ex- amivution of any insurance company -incor- porated in this State, is of tho opinicn ._its cundition is such as to render its further continuance in business huzardous to the iusured therein . . . he shall upply by petition to a Judge of any Circuit Court ot this State to issue an_Injunction restruining such Cotpany, in whole or in part, from turther pro- ceeding with its busioess until a full hearving can be had, or otherwise, as be may difeet. It shall be discretionury with such Judge either to issue sueh injuncton fortbwith, or lo graut an order for such company, upen such notice as be may prescribe, to show cause why suid in- junction should not issue,. or to cuuse a ‘bearing to be bad vn_complaint und suswer or otherw(se, s in_ordinary;proeeedings 1n equity, before determining whethier an injunction shull be issued. He may in nll such cuses make such orders ana decrees from time to time us the exigencies and equitics of the case way re- quire, and in any case, after u full hearing of all parties interested, mny dfssolve, modify, or perpetuate such injunction, and make Bl such orders and decrees uS iy .be necdful to suspend, restrain, or prohibit the further continuauce offthe business of the cowpany.” The question then was whether tho Legisiature had power to authorize the Auditor to proceed and wind up the affirs of the jcompany on_the wrounds set forth in tha petinon. Suchu question bad never yet beeu expressly decided. Thegrant of a charter 10 a corpuration, it was well settled, constituted a contract between the State und the corporators of the Compuny, und, as a consequence, the Legislature could not, when such right hed not beeu reserved fn the charter, eugraflt on the sume uny Dew terms or Provisions WITHOUT THE CONCURRENCE and assent uf .the corporation. Certain terms and couditions were, however, a part of allsuck contracts, by implication, one of which was, us much as though expressed, that such new cor- poration should manage its uifairs so us not to become dangerous or huzardous to _the State or community In and with which it transacted its business. While one Legislature could not bind its successor, yet it wight, in the exercise of its legisiative fuuctions, ;eater into contraets by which the State would be bound to the suuie ex- tent es Individuals. But all such con- tricts must: ‘be regurded © as subject 10 the right jof the Legislature in the exercise of its police power to adopt such reasonable laws us should be necessary for the well-being of the people. With certain consti- tutional limitations, the rights of all persons, whether natural or artificiul, were subject t0 such legislative control as the Legislaturo might deem necessary for the general welfare: and it was o furdamental error 1o Suppose there was any difference fn that respect be- tween the rights of nutural and artidcinl per- sons. Just us & person Ly disregarding the rights of others ight forfeit uot unly his liberty but his life, so a corporation by so con- ducting its atlairs as to defeat the ubjects of {t3 promoters and the designs ot the Legislature fu creating it might forreit its right to further carry ou its business, and also its existence as an artiticial beiug. The fact that the stockbold- ers might be persomully injured by such step was no suflicient reason wby it should not be taken. A consideration of such wenerul principles amply warrunted tisc conclusion that the Legis- Iature was authorlzeq, iu the proper exercise of the police power, to_adopt such necessary regu- lations and legislution as would effectually pro- zect Wi community from losses and injury inci- dent to & public Lusiness cozducted by n COrpo- ration under 4 charter from this State, where such busiuess had became hazardous, and would probubly result in fnuncial distress and disap- puluted lopes to those who, in jgnornnce of its condition, did business with it. ~The same answer could also be made to the objection thut thre act changed tho contract rixhts of the Cow- pany, and thereby jmpaired the obligations en- tered " {uto by it with 1t policyholders prior to tho passage of thestatuie. It was further urged that the act was ex post fucto in {18 operution, and created a new cause of forfeiture, not existing Lefore. Such con- clusion was based on a misupprehension of the scope and- effect of tho' acl. Whenever the finuncial coadition of un Iusurance company was such that it could not make wood Its losses, it bud no right in’ morals or in law to conttnue its business any longer, for to do so would be a palpable fraud on ihose dolng busi- ness with i Even though there wus no cuuse of forfeiture prior to the act of 157, it did not fullow courts were witboul power to decree n dissolution. Moreover, Legislutures must be held to bave power to meel new dangers and complications us they arise. The statute then ouly afforded n new and bighly appropriste remedy for reclaiming by the Stato the rights und privileges conferred on companies by their chariers, where there hud been n misuser or wmanifest abuse of them, aud such nu act the Legisluture was uuthorized to pass, Stillanother, und 1 constitutionul cbjection to’ the act, was that it did not provide fora triul by jury. Butthe Constitution did not reauire that chuncery cases should Lo tried by a jury, and Courts of Bquity, it was well settled, might, except where there wiis some stutute fo the contrary, if they thought proper, puss upon wll questions of fuct involved iu 8 controversy, without s jury. A suit to wind up 1 company's aiTNrs was not & mere statutory legat uetion required to be pposecuted on the euuity side of the Court, which might, if the law s0 directed, e brought with equal_convenience and propriety on the law side; but, on the con- trary, was both in 118 procedure, nuture, and ef- fect an equitubie action. Such befuy its char- fteter, there Was nu more nevessity for a jury in it thun in uny otber chancery cnse, and the uct could not for that reason be called uuconstitu- tional. The next objection tothe act was that it DEPRIVED THE STOCKUOLDERS of thelr property, liberties, and franchises with- Qut due process of luw, There wus no force in that objection. The act provided for a full hearfng on due notfce. 1f the stockhelders were not fully represented by the corporation ilself, they could be personally brouglit into court. Luton the uther hand the Court whs Dot su- thorized to appuint a Recelver ualil after a ““full hearing of all the parties Interested,” and a final decree dissolving or restruiviug the cors porution from further continuauce of its busi- uess. Theactdid not contemplate the appoint- went of u Receiver until the Compauy' bad been dissolved, or -restrained from tho further prose- cution of its business, and the Court was not authorized to make nuy such order of dissolu- tion, uuntil there bud been a hearing ou the werits. The stockhbolders were not, however, necessary parties to the sult. The goneral rule was that some right was sought to be enforced agninsta corporatiun, und the relief asked would only aifect the stockholders us stockbolders, and no discovery or relief was sought nguinst thew, s Individuuls, for they were unnecessary parties to & bill in chancery. The luw contempluted 2 hearing on the merits before the appointment of & Recelver, but in the present case, us the facis in the petition were admitted the necessity of a hearing was obviuted. Tue Court, however, Lefore appuinting a Receiver, should have enfered n finul order or decree on the 1werits, elther dissolving the corporation or restraioing it from further continuance of its business. Butthe failure 1o do so was only an ‘error which did not affect the jurisdicdon of the | Court. Hence it wusof pno importance in *he present cuse, for if the Court hud jurisdiction of the subject matter and of the parties, the regu- larity of tue Keceiver's appoiutment would not inquired into. For the above reasons the do- cisions of the Appellate and Circuit Courts would be reversed aud the case remanded. Justices Dickey and Walker dissented. Messrs.

This projection of land is on the western shore of Mobile Buy, about thirty miles below this city, and is inbabited princi- pally by oystermen, who reap golden burvests from the many beds which furnish nearly every ‘la ster brought to the Port of Mobile. Mr. Dor- lon, who kecps & store ut_thid-point, has about three acres fenced in with strong, pilings. Lead- inw to this inclosure are two smgll cunals, one on the bay side and the other on the gulf side, which supply with salt water 8., gumber of ditches ten feet “wide and 100 feet lopg. The sand accumulating from the evacuation of these ditches is thrown on each side and used by, .the terrapins to sun themselves and lay their'egus, which, if counted, would go up in_the mlllions, snd can be raked up by the bushel. In the win- ter season the terrapins rormain imbeddud in the mud in the ditches, where they stay untiispring- thne, pover touching a_morsel of T00d. A sys- tem of sluices enables Mr. Dorlon to keep the ditches full of salt water, or drain them at, pleasure, and he js not at all dependent on the Tide for that purpose. The number of terroplos on the farm, as far a8 can be ascertained and by the closest calcula- don, {8 between 20,000 snd 25000, and in_the course of theuext three or four years will be something hard to calcusate. About May 1 Mr. Dorlon makes his purchases of terrupins from the country people on the Mississippt Sound, and takes ull he ean secure ut 33 a duzen and that generally avernges about 8,000 & year ndded to bis furm, outside of thuse. bred tnercin.

[ One of the Institutions of Our City. For several weeks past; the sound of the hammer has been heard and gangs of me- chanies have been seen going in and out at Nos. 77 and 79 Madison street, opposit Mc- Vicker’s ‘Fheatre;, This has been prepara- tory to the occupdney of the building by the Metropolitan Business College, formerly on State street. Thé, College is remarkable for- its growth, and had simply outgrown its old clothes, hence a iemoval becanie avsolutely necessary consequent upon this increase, A long lease has been secured, and the school is now permaneutly located in the very heart of the business district. Thenew quarters are very large. and well hghted, and are fitted up with every convenience, so that the college can now boast of the_finest rooms of any similar school in the United States. As ‘to the work of the college, a single instance illustrates: A youngman on South Water street attended the evening ses- sions three months, when he found that he could earn as much in half a day as he pre- viously did injau entire day, and net at rolling barrels, either. He now attends the day- school forenoons and earns his wages in the afternoon. It is not too much to say that 50 per cent in value was thus added to the whole life of thut young man. 'The moral is obvious, and young men should act accord- ingly. . INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE.

The Majority of Northrrn Warriors Surrendered — Sitting=Bu.l Sure to Follow. 5 Fort Buroxp, D. T., Feb. 3.—The surren- der of Sitting-Bull’s followers is almost a completed fact. The larga body of hostiles which came to this side of the line under Sitting-Bull, and which has been for some little time encamped on the Porcupine, a tributary of the Missouri River, finally, through the influence of the scout Allison, reached Poplar River on Jan. 27, and will arrive at this post on Feb. 4. It is camping about thirty miles from here to-night. The band numbers between 359 and 400 souls,— men, women, and children,—and is under the leadership of Cluefs Crow-Kinyr, Good- Bear, Big-Skirt, Long-Dog. and Black-Eagle. The latter is one of the hostiles who was sent down by Gen. Miles in 1876 to the Chey- enne Agency, from whence he subsequently eseaped. ‘They are under the escort ot Maj. T, B. Dewees, Second Cavalry, with his com- pany, and are still armed and have with them their ponies and lodges. The formal surrender of these Indians will take place at Fort Buford, and. will be made to ) Brotherton in person. They b claimed that they would not s Gen. Miles nor at Fort Keogh. Sitting-Bull in person, with a small following of perhaps forty lodges, is still ou the other side of the line. The proposition of Maj. Iiges to pro- ceed to the_line and demandhis surrender from the Canadinn authorities has not yet been replied to from Washington. In addi~ tion to these hostiles, who are coming in, the influence of Allison has caused the surrender of one of the most nZerous Chiefs_the Sioux have ever had, named Low Dog. This Indian, with his peo- ple, withdrew from Sittmg-Bull’s lead- ership when that Chief talked of sur- rendering last fall, and_refused to leave Canada. He is the Indian of whom Tiges spoke in his dispateh of Jan. 19 to Gen. Terry as follows: **Low Dog, the Indian who was reported killed last fall between Par- nell’s Station and O’Fallon Creck, s believed to be with Sitting-Bull, and is doubtless exer- cising bad influence.” The circumstances which forced the .surrender now of this Indian aud his followers are simply want, hunger, and cold. He arrived at Poplar Creek on the same day that the Indians un- der Crow King cante” from Wolf Point and delivered himself up to Maj: Ilzes with the request that he might besent to Fort Buford. coming in_leaves Sitting-Bull the ouly hostile Sioux Clief now at large, and there ean be but little doubt that he will soon grow weary of his solitude and come in to join his friends at Fort Buford. He wmay possibly have desire to be the last one to surrender, %‘I‘:‘x!nking it will increase his fame and repu- lon. —— RICHARD REALF'S WIFE.
